Tom Pettersen has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.76, set at Kjeller Open 2015, puts him in the top 23.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 307th in Norway. Across 12 competitions since November 2012, he has put 285 official solves on the record across six events.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
